Should I just get the basic H3 stereo (which TorontoJeff says has the AUX connection), or should I look for something else? I do not like the way aftermarket stereos look in our beautiful brushed steel console, unless the steel on the aftermarket is identical to it (which isn't likely). Is there any DVD touch screen that fits the entire space perfectly, and will have a connection for an iPod?<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Originally posted by First Hummer:

Radio is very easy to pull out.Take 2 fingers and place them in the 2 power connectors and pull outwards.Once you have those clips pulled out the rest should be easy.Remember the Vents at top will come out with the front panel.Then just 4 bolts to un screw and it should slide rite out. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> </div></BLOCKQUOTE> </div></BLOCKQUOTE> </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Hummer4Life: I've recently purchased an iMac G5 and with it came a mini iPod (now my girlfriends). More importantly I have purchased an H3 (Slate Blue/Lux Pkg/XM Stereo-6 CD/AM-FM) How difficult will it be to interface her iPod with the Stereo? I'm not electronically savvy. Your insight is appreciated.

The H3 does have an AUX input, i know because i just hooked my ipod up through it. (I have the basic stereo with the single CD player). If you keep pressing the BAND button, once the ipod is connected to the AUX input, you get the AUX channels (1 and 2). </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Hey TorontoJeff, would you like to share on how you where able to hook-up your iPod through the AUX Input? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
This is the back of the basic radio from my H3 and I dont see any aux jack anywhere.

I know some people in other cars have used what amounts to a free auxiliary (i.e. audio casette, etc.) deck in their GM cars to hook up a 1/8" miniplug, and they plug their iPod into that. Or, if they don't want to use the six-disc changer (with an iPod, who cares?) they use the plugs for that.
It requires a bit of work to do it (to get behind your stereo), but I imagine a similar thing may be possible on the H3.
I consider the lack of an AUX port to be a major oversight. If I was on the fence, it could literally be the thing to push me over the edge - to the point that I'd even pay $50 for what would probably cost GM $1.00 or less to add.

I did, and he stated there that some might question his choice of using the 12 volt power adapter/plug sources we have. Not sure why that is, other than possible noise interference. <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Originally posted by First Hummer:

Okay, I'll stop beating this topic dead shortly. TorontoJeff is on to something. I stopped at my local stereo installer's shop and picked up an adapter that connects between the existing "small" port on the back of the factory radio, and the original harness from the vehicle. Once I try it out, I'll let everyone know what it is, if it in fact works.
My BIG question is, for those of you who have already toyed around with the main connector harness that contains the power line, which wire is the power line most importantly, and which is the ground (I assume the black)? These are the only two direct wiring needs of the adapter, outside of wiring already built into the connector harness. Or should I simply tap into one of my two existing 12 volt power source adapators/plugs that we have? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
You should check out crisco site he has step by step instructions when replacing factory radio.

The Hummer folks confirmed to me that there IS an AUX port on the back of the Monsoon/MP3/Single Disc/AM/FM system. Is the system easy to pull out?
